I'm glad someone mensioned High Road to China the other day. Great flying scenes. Was Tom Selleck in that movie? All I remember was some beautiful airplanes and Bess Armstrong getting in and out of airplanes. Bess Armstrong in a real nice party dress. After getting out of the plane Bess didnt even get her hair messed up and there was some guy flying the plane with her.Dick________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:07:42 -0500

Subject: Pietenpol-List: GreetingsTo All,I recently found this forum through the web site of one of the members, www.flyingwood.com. I spent the better part of Thursday night perusing his site.About me, at the tender age of 4 I was introduced to flying by my dad's best friendand fellow school teacher. One of my earliest memories was of flying fromWaterloo Iowa to Minneapolis, Minnesota and back, in the back seat of a smallcessna. Uncle Hadley as we called him promised to teach me to fly when I turned13, he told me I would fly before I could drive. Sadly he was killed ina crop dusting accident before he could teach me.As I grew up every thing I read or studied had some connection to flying, now thatthe kids are graduated and moved out, and back in, and out, and back in, andout. I have decided to pursue my dream of flight, starting with the constructionof my own plane. After spending the last 5 years studying different aircraftI decided on a Peitenpol, since I couldn't find anyone with plans for afull size Curtiss Jenny, or a full size Tigermoth. I have spent the last 4 yearsas an Engineering Systems Analyst, before that I spent 7 years with the samecompany as a design engineer. Having spent the last month or so scouring the internet for builders sights, I decided that the first step was to clean up the shop and sell off some of the crap I have accumulated over the years, and use the money to purchases the plans, manuals and so on. I have also began acquiring materials for the rib jig based on several designs I found in the internet. To that end I located the coordinates for the pietenpol wing from http://www.airminded.net/, they had been scaled down so I placed them in Pro Engineer and scaled them up to the 60" length. My first question is, I found a PDF copy of an article that was in "Flying andGlider manual" written by B.H. Pietenpol. I compared the dimensions from thatto the dimensions in Pro Engineer (As soon as I figure out how to send the fileI will post it) and there are discrepancies, the Dimensions from the articledon't produce a smooth surface no matter how you plot them.

Welcome JakeRather than doing things the hard way its just easier to order the plans and whilyou wait for thm to arrive, set up your shop. I realize that we all build differently at least that's one way to do it. I myselfwanted the piet ordered and studird the book and plans and after some greatadvice from Hans Vandervort I started the build. Hans pretty much told me the best way to build a Piet is to start building andit will fall into placeI think that was the best advice I got and certainly got me past the study andinto the build.

Jake, you can search the archives of this forum and find debates on differentairfoils. I have a two piece wing built to plans. If I were to do it over again,I would build a three piece wing using the Grega GN-1 airfoil. Dependingon your taste for origionality and your plans for the plane, you should researchit. Definetly buy the plans and builder's manual before you start.Jeremy in DallasSent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile-----Original Message-----

Hi GrahamIn early 2000, before I strated building and before I learned about the Pietenpol family's plans I sent for an info packet on the Piet from Chad Wiley. He and his dad have built Piets since the early 1940's if I remember right. Chad carves and sells props, or at least he used to. He owns a long fuse Piet with a 0200. In the info. packet he stated that he uses a 76/34 for a climb prop and a 72/42 for a cruise prop. He stated that he gets a 76 mph cruise at gross wt. with the climb prop and 80 mph with the criuse prop. Hope that is of some help.

I was planning to fly mine up but since I started a new job a couple of monthsago I can't get the time off that would be needed. I was pretty bummed out aboutit because with my old job I had the time off and was really looking forwardto making the trip again. I decided I would just try to drive up for the weekendthough. Driving is definitely more reliable. Then Andrew King calledThursday night and told me about some of his misfortunes this week with the flyingmachine that he was hoping to take to Brodhead and Oshkosh. Then we gotto thinking, why doesn't he just take my ship up there. So he picked it up thismorning and headed out. He is taking it on the Model T Centennial/Hayfield/Barnstormingtour all next week.

Fri and Sat night there is a dinner, be sure to buy tickets early, they run out. There is a lunch window during the day and a breakfast on Sat am. There is also a McDonalds and Subway close by.Dick----- Original Message -----

Google Earth Brodhead, WI and you will see the X just south of town between 11 and Brodhead Airport Rd. The "main entrance" is on the East side of the airport off of Airport Rd.KirkOn Jul 20, 2008, at 2:35 PM, mr-fix-all wrote:> >>> Hey All,>> I convinced my Wife and Brother-in-Law that riding the Harley's to > brodhead would make a great Saturday ride since is't only 3 hours. > My question is I found Brodhead, but were is the flyin going to be, > I assume it's not in downtown Brodhead.

Hi Douwe,I have placed fuel outlets in most locations and finally just use the rear right,because a boarding passenger will hit the left rear with his shoulder, andif you fly with the ball in the center either rear locations will work. The centerlocation, "Allen Rudolf's " will get tagged very often by a passenger boarding.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: best movie scenes

I spent the better part of Thursday night perusing his site.>>About me, at the tender age of 4 I was introduced to flying by my dad's bestfriend and fellow school teacher. One of my earliest memories was of flying fromWaterloo Iowa to Minneapolis, Minnesota and back, in the back seat of a smallcessna. Uncle Hadley as we called him promised to teach me to fly when Iturned 13, he told me I would fly before I could drive. Sadly he was killedin a crop dusting accident before he could teach me.>As I grew up every thing I read or studied had some connection to flying, nowthat the kids are graduated and moved out, and back in, and out, and back in,and out. I have decided to pursue my dream of flight, starting with the constructionof my own plane. After spending the last 5 years studying different aircraftI decided on a Peitenpol, since I couldn't find anyone with plans for afull size Curtiss Jenny, or a full size Tigermoth. I have spent the last 4 yearsas an Engineering Systems Analyst, before that I spent 7 years with the samecompany as a design engineer. >Having spent the last month or so scouring the internet for builders sights, I decided that the first step was to clean up the shop and sell off some of the crap I have accumulated over the years, and use the money to purchases the plans, manuals and so on. I have also began acquiring materials for the rib jig based on several designs I found in the internet. To that end I located the coordinates for the pietenpol wing from http://www.airminded.net/, they had been scaled down so I placed them in Pro Engineer and scaled them up to the 60" length. >>My first question is, I found a PDF copy of an article that was in "Flying andGlider manual" written by B.H. Pietenpol. I compared the dimensions from thatto the dimensions in Pro Engineer (As soon as I figure out how to send the fileI will post it) and there are discrepancies, the Dimensions from the articledon't produce a smooth surface no matter how you plot them. >>Second question am I wasting my time trying to produce the rib jig before I purchasethe plans?>>>Jake Spiegel>Jesup Iowa>>>Read this topic online here:>>http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: >>http://forums.matronics.com//files/drw0 ... ______Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:15:03 -0500 (GMT-05:00)
